Re: Round 5 vs Broncos

No Haas. No Walsh. Reynolds missing in the second half. Piakura out. Willison out. At AAMI Park. Almost back to complete full strength Storm. 32 points conceded and we barely scrape home… A bit worrying to be honest. This has gotta be the key information to be taken from this game. Reynolds going o...

Re: RD 3 vs Knights

Trent Loiero got the highest VB Hard Earned Index score in the entire NRL for his efforts against the Knights, very interesting. Just goes to show good footy isn’t always stat based! He worked his absolute ass off tbf, easily made the most meters out of our whole forward pack and made 35 tackles to...

Re: Round 2 - Storm vs Warriors @ AAMI Park

We Struggled to make it out of our half in the second 40 but I think that was due to Welch failing his HIA 10 minutes in which ruined our middle rotation with only one other middle on the bench. We still have NAS, Blore and Welch to come back into this forward pack. We’re looking good

Re: Round 26 - Storm vs Titans AAMI Park, 26th Aug

Why is King out? … ‘cos he’s fairly anonymous? I know you all really rate him - I don’t. I actually agree in part, I love King and think he works very hard for the team, but he is NOT a modern day lock, you look at the Murray’s & Yeo’s of the competition and they have pace, ball playing ability...

I don’t rate Pene at all. Tepai is getting game time in qcup so he should be available soon but who does he even get in over?

Re: An honest assessment

I think you expect too much from players like Smith, Trent etc. Not every player needs to be a genuine attacking threat. Smith is one of the best defensive centres in the comp and has been great for us this year. Starting to form a nice combination with Warbrick as well. They looked good against Man...
